This comfort food can be made ahead or even frozen. It’s loaded with iron and antioxidants. Ingredient tip: Lacinato or dinosaur kale (the dark, bumpy kind) works best, but frilly kale will do; or use any dark leafy green you like. Prep tip: Because this makes a lot of kale, use one side of your sink to drain it and the other side as an ice-water bath to stop the cooking.
Ingredients
- 4 big bunches lacinato kale (2 1/2–3 pounds)
